Yes, it was a little rough for your team. We'll get into that. We'll get into a recap on the odds maker. Rick Delgado's here. He's gonna do some news. Mr. Delgato, how are you?
Rick Delgado
I am well, thank you.
Damon
How was your weekend?
Rick Delgado
My weekend was. Was going great until. Until I noticed what was going on in the news. Oh, my goodness.
Damon
Man, what a horrendous weekend.
Rick Delgado
What a horrendous weekend. And when you think about it, it's like this is supposed to be the seat. Yeah, I. I just pre programmed a bunch of things on my car for all the Christmas stations. I'm in the mood and you see this. This horrific stuff happen, and it just. It kind of breaks your heart. It's just like, oh, what is wrong with people? So people suck and they ruined my weekend.
Damon
Yeah, it was. It was a devastating weekend of news, man. Just from the Brown University to all the way around. All the way around the world. And then obviously the Reiners just. Just a horrendous weekend of news. So Paul Nolan's here. He's going to do some news. Mr. Nolan, how are you?
Paul Nolan
I am very well. I had a great weekend to. The news stunk, but I suffered an injury over the week.
Damon
Oh, what did you do? Don't tell me you tore your ACL or something.
Paul Nolan
No, no, no, no.
Damon
There's been a lot of that going on, too.
Paul Nolan
I got injured sleeping last night. That's right.
Damon
So, I'm sorry, what?
Rick Delgado
Yeah, this kind of goes back to last week. How do you know you're old?
Paul Nolan
That's exactly right. This is like rule number 1743. What? How you know you're getting old. Yeah, I was wounded sleeping. I woke up, had the worst prick in my neck. And I don't. I didn't really do any physical labor except for Thursday last. Fine. And then. Yeah. So I don't know what the heck happened, but I'm gonna rough it because I'm a brave soldier. I'm gonna make it through this this evening here like a warrior.
Rick Delgado
I'll stand with you, Paul.
Damon
All right, very good. Injured sleeping. We'll add that one to the list. That's a new one.
Rick Delgado
Afraid to fart. And injured sleep.
Damon
Yes, Paul, you're. You're building quite the resume this year.
Slick
Wow.
Damon
You're watching. It might be A book coming.
Rick Delgado
Right.
Slick
You haven't quite the runs. I mean, run.
Damon
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Right. So we'll do sports. We'll get into all the news. We might actually also get the president. The president's doing something tonight. I believe it's some kind of Christmas reception, but it may or may not be open for the cameras to see. We'll have to wait and see if that's the case, and if it is, we'll bring it to you. Let me also, before we get to tonight's first word, also congratulate our own Brian Glenn on his engagement tonight. Brian Glenn got engaged to Marjorie Taylor Greene. So we say congratulations to both of them and to Brian and wish them the best in their. Their life together. Obviously, they have a life together, but obviously as they take the next step. So that was nice to see. Congratulations. I saw the tweet from Brian and mtg, so God bless them and best wishes of to them.
Rick Delgado
Yes. Congrats on marital.
Slick
Yeah, Brian's the best.
Damon
And hopefully you're.
Slick
I love him, man.
Paul Nolan
I love it.
Damon
Marital B bliss is the same as all of us who have taken the.
Slick
Oh, come on. I'm happily married. I love my wife, so.
Damon
Yes, well, I do, too. Just like.
Rick Delgado
Yeah.
Damon
Yes.
Slick
I'm just concurring with you.
Damon
Yes. Okay. Very good.
Paul Nolan
So slick. Today I was at my antiques. I had nose Boston Wagner and had my final checkup. And he's from actually Siberia. He's Russian, and his wife is from Ukraine. And I said, what's that like with the politics? And he asked. He goes, he goes, I don't know. But she put the line down. Center of bed. There is no action in between anymore. I looked at. My wife was with me. I'm like, is that because you're Syrian over there? What. What's our war?
Rick Delgado
What's.
Damon
Why do we have a line down? She's shaking the spray paint bottle, getting ready.
Paul Nolan
She just hasn't done it yet, but he's kicking in.
Damon
All right, good to see everybody in the chat. I'm sure the chat will have a lot to say tonight as well about the news of what's happening. So we'll get to the chapter right now. Let's get to tonight's first word. Well, as we barrel into 2026, here comes the big Democrat rallying cry. And this is what you're going head into the new year. Affordability. Oh, they're going to hammer it, home folks. Don't you worry. Affordability. They're going to talk about health care, housing, child care. Education, energy, you name it, they're going to talk about it. Their version of affordability is going to be sold as this warm, fuzzy, compassionate alternative to that mean old MAGA focused on growth, opportunity, jobs and real economic revival. But let me tell you something, like every progressive Marxist slogan from the left, that this one collapses the minute you shine a little daylight on it. What the Democrats and their Marxist pals call affordability isn't affordability at all. It's a classic linguistic trick. You know they own the language. It's a slight of hand that confuses lower sticker prices with actually lowering costs. Their policies aren't just ineffective, they're nowhere to be seen. Just like the teleprompter is right now. Nowhere to be found. They do the exact opposite of what they say they're going to do. And as always with these people, the real world results are the polar opposite of what they promise. Skyrocketing costs, of course, chronic shortages, crumbling quality, and fewer chances for folks to climb the ladder of success. This isn't some moderate debate anymore. The modern Democrat party is operating lock, stock and barrel on pure Marxist assumptions. Those assumptions sound something like this. That government can decree prices from on high, that redistribution magically creates wealth and abundance, and that bureaucrats intervening is the perfect substitute for actual production. Every sector of the economy gets the same treatment, rebranded as again affordability while it crushes supplies, jacks up the total bill for everybody. These disasters aren't bugs, they're the feature. They are the inevitable outcome of distorting the free markets under their playbook. Affordability means slashing what you pay out of pocket by dumping the bill on the government, meaning essentially on you, the taxpayer, through higher taxes, exploding debt and inflation that hits your wallet every single day. The formula never changes. Subsidized demand, sky high, cap prices by fiat, mandate every behavior under the sun, and then balloon the bureaucracy. A handful of favored consumers may get a little short time sugar high, but the costs, well, they don't vanish. They just get shifted onto the rest of us. Real affordability, the kind that built the greatest middle class in history, comes from the exact opposite direction. Prices drop when things get cheaper to produce. Period. Through productivity, exploding innovation, roaring competition, thriving inefficient markets doing what they do best, that's organic, sustainable cost reduction. Democrats pedal temporary consumption handouts. Free markets deliver permanent prosperity. These aren't buddies working together. They're mortal enemies. Take health care. We once again see the push to keep those Covid era enhanced Obamacare subsidies now going into 2026. It's the perfect illustration of this scam. Marketplace enrollments topped 24 million, with most getting subsidies. But now, as those enhanced handouts expire at the end of this year, folks are now staring down massive premium spikes. Hundreds, if not even thousands of dollars more a year. For many households, that right there tells you everything you need to know. Prices did not go down. They were just hidden, masked by dumping more taxpayer cash into this ever growing black hole. These subsidies do zero to cut the underlying cost of care providers bill whatever they want. Insurers have no incentive to rein in spending. Fraud explodes, Inefficiency runs wild. Pouring more of your money in just locks in the mess. And when government pushes consumer prices towards zero, demand goes through the roof. Meanwhile, caps on reimbursements chase doctors and nurses right out of the field. The result? Rationing, endless weights, fewer specialists block procedures, more chronic illness, more demand. It's a vicious cycle. And this isn't guesswork. This is the daily reality. Talk to anybody in Canada or the uk. Housing same fraud exposed in daylight. Rent control and regulatory strangling sold as protecting the tenants. But the evidence is crushing. Strict rent control slashes the city's rental supply. Studies show around 15%. As landlords bail, they convert units or they just stop investing. Rents go up citywide. For everybody else, it helps a lucky few who may have snagged a controlled unit but wrecks affordability for the vast majority. Profits capped maintenance tanks. Buildings then rot. Eventually they need massive taxpayer bailouts. Supply shrinks, prices soar. Society gets poor, less mobile. Not an oops. It's the model doing exactly what it's designed to do it. Let's take higher education. Identical script federal student loans now pushing towards $1.8 trillion across millions of borrowers. Why? Unlimited government guarantees Let universities jack tuition endlessly, no questions asked about program quality or real job value to the students. Kids borrow huge for worthless degrees. Then they look for forgiveness. And that just shifts the bloated bill to you, the taxpayer who never went to those classes. The crisis isn't just debt. It's debt totally disconnected from real economic value. Real fix. Admit college isn't the only road tie education to actual job needs. Ditch the ideological credential mill, folks. The pattern is unbreakable across every sector. Intervention warps incentives. Supply dries up, quality plunges, total costs explode. Every fix makes the problem worse, justifying even more control. Subsidized housing decays government health care means lines and denials. Dumb down schools, weaken our workforce. Every flop screams for more power grabs from the government end game. While it's not equality, a two tiered hell is more like it. The connected elite by private options, everybody else waits in line. True affordability springs from productivity making more with less efficiency. Up costs down, prices fall, wages rise naturally. That's how America built the middle class. Back in the late 90s to early 2000, productivity growth nearly doubled, did more for living standards than any subsidy ever dreamed. Republican policies, flawed as they can be, at least point in the right direction. Unleash energy production, slash red tape, spur investment, get more folks working. Focus on supply, not fake demand. You can't subsidize prosperity. You can't regulate abundance. But that's the Marxist affordability pipe dream and it delivers poverty, unfairness and collapse. Affordability is not engineered by government. It is earned through production. Until policymakers accept that basic truth, every new affordability proposal that we're going to hear in 2016, the Democrats is only going to deepen the crisis that they claim to want to fix. And that's tonight's first word. All right, live from Studio 6B. Twelve minutes past the hour. Yeah, and yeah, I wanted to touch on that because I think that's. That is absolutely what we're going to start to hear as we head into what possibly be another shutdown over these subsidies and over Obamacare. And you're already seeing Republicans starting to cave and that's where this whole thing's going. Yeah.
Rick Delgado
And it just reminds me of the nine most terrifying words in the English language. Ronald Reagan. I'm from the government and I'm here to help. Exactly. Help drive up cost, push down productivity, make your life a living hell. Yep. That's the government that whenever they get involved and they try to be capitalism, they screw it up because it's all about bureaucrats.
Paul Nolan
No central planner ever dictate a market.
Damon
All right, just getting started on a Monday, brand new week. Live from Studio 6B, we'll say hello to everybody in the chat, see what's on their mind. Hope you had a good weekend as well. We're back right after this.
Paul Nolan

Good to see everybody in the chat chat chat, which I'm wearing my chat chat chat shirt tonight. Dave Cyverson in the chat says Damon, Damon, Damon, hello. Dave Cyverson on X. All of our friends on X Rumble. Very good getter, Facebook, YouTube, wherever you're watching. Thank you for all the kind words on the first word. Hope everybody had a great weekend. Good to see you in. Lots to do on a busy Monday, obviously busy news. Horrendous news weekend for the most part. I mentioned in the first segment there is a possibility that we may get some footage out of the Christmas part. Christmas reception I think is actually it's entitled President Trump participates in a Christmas reception on the state floor. It may be closed though. We don't know if we're covered or not. If we do get some footage of it, we'll bring it to you though, live as it happens. Kick it off as we always do here at segment two with some sports. Sports is brought to you by Mike Lynn Dell LFS XPS the promo code to use. Let's get a recap on the odds makers weekend. Slick, how are you?
Slick
We got a pick. Big D. We got Monday Night Football.
Damon
That's right. Let's do it.
Slick
Yep.
Damon
Miami at Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh at home minus three in this game. So the old home. The old home field three.
Slick
Yes.
Damon
For Pittsburgh and Miami. Who are you going to go with here, Slick?
Slick
Well, Acreshaw Stadium we're going to go with the team that's going to play better in the cold weather. Miami Dolphins typically freeze up to a tug of valoa in career is.05 in games played below 40 degrees. Temperature promises to be a balmy 14 to 21 degrees. So looking good there. The Dolphins all time are 25, 48 and 1 since 1966 in any temperatures under 40 degrees. I mean they may have a better game tonight. Miami with Devon H A and he's got a great running game. They're going to have to keep it on the ground but I like the Steelers winning this one. I will lay the home 3. I feel good about it. Need this win. Aaron Rodgers knows cold weather obviously coming from Green Bay and playing, you know, playing here on the east coast. I know he played in California when he was younger but give me, give me the Steelers. They need this game. They want to hold on to that AFC north first place position. Miami's hanging in but I think this season is going to be over like the Cowboys last night. So give me the Steelers.
Damon
All right, Pittsburgh minus three for Slick. Aaron, what are you going to do here?
Announcer
I'm going to go with Slick here. I'm also going to take Pittsburgh minus three. I just don't trust the Dolphins to get it done in the cold weather like Slick was alluding to.
Rick Delgado
So I'm going to take Pittsburgh plus minus three.
Damon
All right, you're both going to lay the points of Pittsburgh. We'll track that game throughout our couple hours here on Slick. What else is going on in sports?
Slick
I have to admit I feel confident. I feel good if Aaron's going along me because she's kicking butt on the pick. She went three and one this weekend again. She had another good weekend coming off that big weekend last weekend. 4, 0, 48, 30 in one is Aaron's record. She continues to maintain that 18 game over 500 games. That's a full. That's one a week that get us in a 17 week season.
Damon
It's better than one Aaron if any Professional sports gamblers ever get wind of that? You may be getting some calls.
Slick
That's right.
Damon
Unheard of.
Slick
She might. She might.
Damon
Professional sports gamble to be that many games over 500.
Slick
But if I somehow come back, I'm 42 and 37. I'm a few days behind. I somehow come back. I wonder if I'll get the same accolades. No, I'm sure I won't.
Announcer
I'll give you the accolades.
Slick
Thank you, Aaron. No, Aaron, you're doing a phenomenal job. I'm very proud to work with you. And you're super on the picks. So let's go to the picks over the weekend. Navy and Army. What a game. It was a classic game. The president was there. I got a clip of the President as well. That was exciting to have him there. At M and T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland. 17 to 16 in the thriller. Not necessarily a thriller. Army has got the most boring game. They just run, run, run the ball. But they played well. But Navy, they pulled it out. Blake Korvath with that touchdown with about six minutes to go, gave them the win. Didn't give them the COVID though. Aaron took the seven. She won. I laid the seven.
Damon
I lost.
Slick
But I was still glad to see Navy win. That was my team. Going to some other games over the weekend. Big D. How about that Buffalo Bill, New England Patriot battle. I think those guys meet again in the playoffs. And Buffalo comes back from 21 down to win that game. Incredible. Josh Allen. 193 yards through the air, three touchdowns and wow, what a great game there. And that's going to be some race up in the AFC east there. Erin was on the Rams. They've been doing it all year for her. Sure enough, they beat the Lions. Another great game. Back and forth in Detroit. 41, 34. I'll tell you, the Rams, they're for real. That is the team. Matthew Stafford. Odds on favor for the MVP right now. 2 touchdowns, 368 yards, 24, 38 yesterday he had a great game. And Puka Nakua. Can you take your hat off to that young man? Incredible. He had 181 receiving yards on nine catches. He didn't get into the end zone, but what's the difference? He was a rock star. Just the same. Texans did it again. Aaron, they got you there. I know Erin's been picking against Arizona all year. She's been delivering on that one. 40 to 20 Texans over the Arizona Cardinals. C.J. stroud, three touchdowns, 22 of 39. And then I had Denver. Denver did cover that game 34, 26. Denver goes to 12, two. They are one heck of a team as well. They're almost unbeatable in power field. I like the playoffs. We're gonna have some, some new old names back in. So really exciting there and we'll, we'll keep an eye on that big D.
Damon
College grad failure on. I said this weekend was by far the best weekend in football. Every game was awesome.
Slick
Just absolutely incredible. A couple of duds, but for the most part, he's right. Every, every game. There were some good games there. The jet game was certainly a dud. Boy, they got, they, they were out of that game before they got off the bus. Let's get the Breitbart here. Big D. Trump receives heroes welcome at Army Navy game. He participated in the coin toss.
Damon
This was awesome.
Slick
Unbelievable. We got that cut to. Coming up, Nick Gilbertson of Breitbart Sports. President Donald Trump received a hero's welcome at the Army Navy football game at MNT Bank Stadium in Baltimore on Saturday, where he tossed the coin to decide the kickoff. Those in attendance greeted Trump with a host of cheers during his introduction ahead of the toss. You know what, let's get right to that, Aaron. Cut 12. Let's show the president and the ref gave him some introduction.
Damon
It is my honor and privilege to introduce the commander in chief, our president of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump.
Rick Delgado
Loves the football.
Damon
Good on that ref, by the way.
Slick
Was he unbelievable.
Damon
Unbelievable.
Slick
Continues.
Paul Nolan
Thank you for your leadership and your.
Damon
Continued support of our service members and our veterans.
Paul Nolan
It's an honor to have you here today.
Rick Delgado

Paul Nolan
Each and every day.
Damon
To the cadets, the midshipmen and everyone watching around the world, this is the 126th plane of America's game. The coin today we will be tossing features the army Navy logo which will be ahead the battle monument, which is a tail Army. What is your call?
Slick
Nah, it's good. Let's just let it go. You want to get the toss?
Damon
The toss. The toss is the best part.
Paul Nolan
Did he just give the Italian salute?
Slick
Yeah, he thought he was in Philadelphia.
Damon
Going in for a layup.
Slick
I mean, is, could he be in a better form than on the football field? I mean, the greatest sports president that's ever, ever been in office. I mean, Reagan did the all win one for the giver, but this Is unbelievable. He had his own team at one point, right.
Damon
The.
Slick
The New Jersey Generals back in the day. The president is just. He's in his element, you know, big dude stuff. That ref. First ref I've liked in 30 years.
Paul Nolan
You know, just so I. You said it best. He's in his element. He's not just in his element because he's around sports, because he's around guys.
Damon
Yes.
Paul Nolan
Yeah. That's what he is. He's the ultimate guys. That. That's what makes that work. Him in those settings.
Rick Delgado
Yeah.
Paul Nolan
That's where he could just be himself.
Damon
It was fantastic. The ref was absolutely fantastic. Good on him for prepping that or whoever put that together. Absolute show of respect. As they should. Yeah, that was really good.
Rick Delgado
So was the. What do you call it? National anthem.
Damon
Oh, I didn't. I did not see the national anthem. Who sung it?
Rick Delgado
Pretty nice. I. I don't recall who sung it, but I remember watching the clip going, wow.
Damon
Just.
Rick Delgado
And just watching everybody.
Damon
Usually they get somebody from either one of these.
Slick
Dad or something. Yeah. Or somebody.
Paul Nolan
Yeah.
Damon
And they're always good.
Slick
Yeah, they are. They have beautiful voices.
Damon
It's like they have the. The army choir, too, or the. The choirs in some of these services. They're always great as well.
Slick
That is America's game. They call that every year. And that. That I have to say, with everything that surrounds it, it is the greatest game of the year.
Paul Nolan
That was great stuff.
Slick
Better than the Super Bowl. That's my book. That. That's a wrap.
Paul Nolan
Big name, great clip, man.
Slick
Beautiful.
Damon

Paul Nolan
Well, I think we've, we're going to start with this Rob Reiner double, you know, the Trump doubling down. And I think that the, I think this is an open discussion issue here. I, my issue with it would be after we play it, I'm not offended.
Damon
Okay, wait, so just set the table here.
Paul Nolan
Oh, I think the whole MAGA world knew this. Today Trump tweeted out or X'd out or truth. Doubt truth is the original. Something to the effect of that Rob Ryan is tds and you know his, you know, his angry, anger filled life is, could have led to his demise to a degree. Damon, since you have the beautiful voice, why don't you read this for us?
Damon
Very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away together with his wife Michelle, reportedly due to the anger he caused others with his massive, unyielding and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as Trump Derangement Syndrome, sometimes referred to as tds. He was known to have driven people crazy by his raging obsession of President Donald Trump. With his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness. And with the golden age of America upon us, perhaps like never before, may Rob and Michelle rest in peace.
Paul Nolan
So my position on this is, you know, I'm seeing again, everything I see is about splitting MAGA down the middle in some way, just chopping it into pieces and kill populism through social media. For me, this was not a matter of everything he said probably, probably was true. And I don't think I could really disagree with that statement in its totality because Rob Reiner was a seriously angry and unhinged guy and his takes on politics were nothing short of brutal and his behavior towards our president was pathetic and sad in my opinion. However, in a moment like this, in a war of visual optics, we are losing moderates. Moderates will determine the midterms. I just don't think From a tactical 4D chess standpoint this made sense. If he, even if he absolutely abhorred Rob Reiner, I think the play should have been, I'm so sorry for the loss. I know this man didn't like me, but he's still a fellow American. His movies made me laugh. His Trump terrain, even if you want to say his TDS was some of the worst I've seen, but I pray he makes it to the kingdom of God, blah, blah, blah, something kind, something civil, something decent. Because here's why the liberals heads would have exploded and they would have said things like, he's a liar, Trump is lying, he doesn't care. And now they would wear coca by default because they would be besmirching Trump's decency in a moment where he shows grace to his enemy. I think he had a phenomenal opportunity to absolutely play the media and I feel like he missed it. That's my problem with it.
Rick Delgado
Yeah, I would have to agree with you basically on just about all of it there, Paul. I mean, the other part of me is like, I'm trying to look at it from, from as many different sizes possible. We're dealing with a president who for the last 10 years has been called every name under the sun. And people like the now deceased Rob Reiner and many others have used the words Nazi, communist killing democracy. He's a criminal, he's this, he's that, he's this. Just using everything, every chance they get an opportunity to disparage this president and like Damon has said in the past, because it dehumanizes him. It makes it easier for things like Butler to happen.
Slick
Yeah.
Paul Nolan
One word you're saying. I want you to know I am fully in agreement with you here. But that was why him taking the high road would have had way.
Rick Delgado
No, I understand that. But I'm saying though.
Paul Nolan
But amongst the worst.
Rick Delgado
But I point of view of saying, you know what? I've had it with these people because let's face it, I've had it with these people. I don't care.
Paul Nolan
I come from the Spinal Tap the other day with my friends on a Sunday. We're all hanging out. We're gonna watch Spinal Tap for the fun of it. I couldn't watch the movie because Rob Ryan was part of it.
Rick Delgado
I can't. I can't watch the Nero movies because he's in it.
Paul Nolan
Yeah.
Rick Delgado
And I can't watch certain things or listen to certain music anymore because I know these people are abhorrent people. And so I take it. I look at it this way. He's. He doesn't have anything to prove to anybody anymore. Right. We said he. He's living the no Fs to give presidency right now. He doesn't care because none of these people care about him. So why should he give them that? I understand what you're saying about the moderates. I get it. But I feel like something like this is just going to pass. It's not going to be a big deal. And again, I come from this as the like Batman and Batman Begins. Hey, I don't have to. I'm not going to kill you, but I don't have to save you. I'm out. You know what I mean? It's kind of hands off.
Paul Nolan
I understand the devil's advocate role you playing here, because believe me, I wrestled with it too. I just think all I want to do is win the midterms. Because if we lose terms, what happens? Is he going to be impeached every seven minutes? Yeah. Is. I mean, his. His presidency gets fully derailed. What is your opinion?
Damon
D. Well, I tweeted about this this morning because I was in the car and I saw it pretty much when it came out. And the mistake I made was I hit the microphone button on my phone and I spoke it in instead of typing it in. I maybe, maybe have been a little more eloquent. So first of all, let me. I just.
Slick
Because.
Damon
And people have written me all day long that the language is unnecessary. And you're correct, and the language was not necessary, but that's what came out of my mouth. So, first of all, I apologize for the language, but my sentiment, I. I don't. I don't change. I just. I mean, maybe I have. I just feel like in the. In the arena of politics, it is a tough game, and nobody understands that better than the President. We could. We could. None of us could ever even imagine what the pressure and he was under and his family and all of that, all of what he went through, and all of these people continuing to dehumanize him. So in the arena of politics, if I want to say Rob Reiner is a. Is a fat, pos. Vile human being, I think that's fair, and I think it's true. I just think that human life trumps politics at some point. And when. And I can. I can remove the human life and the human element in the. In the murder from his son of both parents. One parent who watched the other parent, obviously, one of them had to see the other one couldn't do both at the same time. When it comes to that, I just feel like his initial tweet just did not meet the moment of what I think, as Paul put it so eloquently could have. Could have. The road he could have taken. It was seemingly just so beneath what could have been, you know, and so. And again. And on people who don't separate it. I get it. I get people who don't separate the. The political arena from everything in their life. But for some. And I guess it's like, well, you know, listen, I was a huge Jimmy Buffett fan. Jimmy Buffett loved Joe Biden. I didn't stop listening to Jimmy Buffett because he liked Joe Biden.
Paul Nolan
I stopped listening to Pearl Jam.
Damon
Sorry.
Rick Delgado
Yeah, me too.
Damon
And that's just me. That's just me. I just. I just think there should be some kind of a. When senseless murder happens to our fellow citizens and fellow humans, no matter how much we politically think of them and what we think of them in the political arena, there should be some grace extended. Like what we didn't see with Charlie Kirk from the left. I get all those arguments. I just think we should have some grace to some degree even. It's for people who have been the most vile, obnoxious, downright wretched to our people and to our guy, our president, even in this situation.
Rick Delgado
Yeah. And again, I go back to Damon, your comments about, you know, how their comments dehumanize not only. Not only the president, but everybody who supports all of us. What they talk about is our demise, his demise, our demise, the country's demise. Because to them that is more important. Now, now I get again, I get the, you know, he should have taken the higher road. And you know, there's the part of me that's like, and there's, it's like having, having the, the good angel and the bad, you know, the little devil on your shoulders like an animal house.
Damon
I mean, I'll tell you this. We, I got thousands of messages today and I saw millions of, of obviously, and I would say 98% of the Republican conservative side was in uniform about this and there was maybe 2 or 3% who defended it. And that's, they're right, you know, things.
Paul Nolan
In the Bible you don't want to.
Damon
But I think that's good with evil.
Paul Nolan
Repaying evil with evil never gets you anywhere. Or, you know, on your enemy you put, you know, forgive and pray for your enemy. And it would be like hot coals on the head. I still think the liberal media would have taken the bait and they would have obliterated Trump if he said something nice about Rob Reiner and took the high road. I think you would have had all the wackies on the left going so far. But he's a liar and they will all would have made fools of themselves. To me, the opportunity was so great to win the war of optics in the sound bite world and I can't. I'm concerned that we're not going to do well in the midterms. That's my concern.
Rick Delgado
You know what though, Paul? Just pushing back on that a little bit. We've already seen them do that though. They always take things out of context and whether it's, you know, whether he says something good or something nice, they always twist it, you know.
Paul Nolan
Exactly.
Slick
I want to take them to bait.
Rick Delgado
To make fools of themselves with this. And I've got the clip from Chris Murphy later. He blames President Trump for the shooting at Brown. Well, how about how, There you go.
Paul Nolan
How about this In Australia, the wackadoodle politician that says that it's a right wing extremist right ring.
Rick Delgado
Yeah, exactly.
Paul Nolan
I know it's, that's why I talk about the war of optics.
Rick Delgado
I feel like on rope, I feel like it's a lose, lose situation, at least for President Trump because he's going to get hammered no matter what he says.
Paul Nolan
But by when they hammer him, by being gracious, they make themselves look awful.
Damon
Let's go to some of what the chat has to say about this. There's plenty of opinions out there. Trump should have taken the high road. But wait until Trump goes. It'll be CK times a thousand. They'll be celebrating. No grace will be given. So I've seen that argument a lot.
Paul Nolan
True story, though. It's true.
Damon
Something happened to Trump, they'd be dancing on his grave and saying horrendous and.
Paul Nolan
Horrible things, saying they missed when he was tried to kill him. I mean, there was the people, like you have the worst aim. You know, like, these people are sick. There's no but I want to be better than that.
Damon
Two wrongs never equate to a right, period. That said, we shouldn't be lectured by the left on the moral high ground. And all of this is correct.
Paul Nolan
All of it's true. I haven't heard one comment that's not accurate.
Damon
Yeah. All right, let's take a break. We'll move on to some other news. Live from Studio 6B on a Monday night. Sam.

Damon
Man. The video, that guy going over there and disarming that first one. That's just one of the. I just. Man, oh, man. I don't know. That was epic. Yeah. Even.
Rick Delgado
Even Trump talked about.
Damon
Unbelievable. Let me take a second, and I want to thank. Not only is she good at picking games, but she's good at decorating, too. I want to thank Aaron for the work she put in and people are commenting on it.
Rick Delgado
It.
Damon
How nice the studio looks. Yeah. Everybody, we've got nice stockings up with everyone's initials on it. No, there's no special coded words that we're trying to send and initials.
Announcer
I was thinking about that when I was hanging them up, and I said, they're not going to figure it out.
Damon
Okay.
Rick Delgado
There's nothing.
Slick
Was there a budget on this?
Announcer
This is all stuff I bought three years ago.
Damon
We maxed it out.
Rick Delgado
Yeah, three years ago. Yeah.
Announcer
This is all stuff I bought my first year here.
Paul Nolan
Bucks.
Damon
Yeah.
Slick
That looks fantastic.
Rick Delgado
And the.
Damon
Is that what. You've been here three years, Aaron?
Announcer
Yeah, it'll be three years in March.
Damon
Man, it seems like so much longer.
Slick
I think I might spend Christmas Day here. So nice.
Damon
Wow.
Rick Delgado
Especially with the magic Christmas tree. I don't know how she did it. Me neither.
Announcer
It's hanging on by a thread and gaffer's tape.
Damon
Well, it looks great. Aaron, you did a great job. Thank you. So congratulations. And thank you for the effort you put into making it look nice.
Rick Delgado
So, yeah, she's gonna. She's gonna have the bill for you before the end of the show. Dan. It.
Damon
That's fine. All right, 12 minutes till the hour. Let's do some headline news. Rick Delgado's got. Yeah, let's do headline news. We'll go back to C1 in a little bit. Delgado, what's going on?
Rick Delgado
All right, Damon. Well, one of the. One of the big stories over the weekend that kind of, you know, kind of makes you put life into perspective is what happened down in Australia as 12 people, including one gunman, shot dead at Sydney's Bondi Beach. Bondi Beach, I should say. Jewish community, was targeted in this terror attack at Sydney's Bondi beach on Sunday evening. An additional 29 people were injured and a second terror gunman arrested at their local Jewish community was directly targeted. According to Australian media, a Hanukkah by the Sea event with up towards a thousand attendees was scheduled to take place near a children's playground from 5pm and had begun when the attack began on the iconic beach. Just a sickening event as 12 individuals were killed. One offender also killed and another one is in custody. It was an attack designed to target Sydney's Jewish community, according to officials. There are well over a thousand people in attendance, according to the New South Wales Police Commissioner Mal Layden, who said they were there to celebrate the Jewish holiday the first night of Hanukkah. Two state police officers were also among those who were shot. It was confirmed late on Sunday evening that a number of suspicious items had also been found near the bridge where gunmen were firing rounds, including an improvised explosive device. There were just, it's just a sickening scene and again happened hours before the, just hours into, you know, the first day of, of Hanukkah, you know, celebration for the Jewish people around the world. It's just another example of, you know, sometimes cultures just aren't meant to go together. So, you know what I mean.
Paul Nolan
Did the media try to say that the guy who attacked the gunman was also a Muslim? Because I heard he was a Christian and then I heard he was a Muslim. Then I heard people arguing about it online.
Rick Delgado
Right. He had a, he had a Middle Eastern sounding name. I didn't see anything about, you know, what he professed to believe in. But here is the Prime Minister of Australia who says, you know, the real, the real threat is, really is. Has nothing to do with Islam. Paul, it's cut number one. Check this out. Cut one. Prime Minister of Australia. We take Asia's advice very seriously. We work closely with them. We receive regular updates as well. The Director General of Asia has warned about a range of threats, be it anti Semitism, the rise of right wing extremist groups as well. And we continue to work closely with our security agencies.
Paul Nolan
Yeah, so Michael Caine's little sister has to bring right wing extremists into it.
Rick Delgado
Well, you got to balance it out. You can't just let people go, oh, my goodness, people are right about the radical Muslims. No, they got to balance it out. Making sure that, you know, that it's both sides. It's got to be both sides. That's the way the left handles it.
Paul Nolan
And if you saw some of the articles of mainstream media like, like Newsweek and some of the other, like, regurgitating talking points of the globalists. They called it right wings extremism. They did say anti Semitism, the buzzwords there. And they said in other forms of extremism. You mean like jihadists?
Rick Delgado
Right, You. Yeah, they won't say the word jihadist because they know that's a, that identifies who exactly does most of the killing around the world. When it comes to these terrorist attacks. Turns out one of the targeted victims has since been named as Rabbi Eli Schlanger. Again, targeted all these Jewish people who were there just to celebrate the first day of Hanukkah. You know, sad situation.
Paul Nolan
The way the media frames things along these lines is just horrific. Yeah, it, you know, to me it's just fully besmirches what's really going on. It just destroys like, you know, it's just all credibility. Just call it what it is. Yeah. If you have that.
Rick Delgado
Yeah. Well, this, this is again, some of the. This is the, the shooter.
Damon
Look at this guy.
Rick Delgado
This guy runs up, grabs him.
Paul Nolan
Look at the bravery of this guy.
Rick Delgado
Wrestles the gun out of his, out of his arms and then turns it on him.
Slick
It takes aim.
Rick Delgado
So look at this guy. The guy who had the gun is now pleading for his life.
Damon
Did he fire?
Slick
He didn't fire at him?
Damon
No, he did not fire at him.
Paul Nolan
And it's a father and son.
Damon
And then he passed a gun down and like he's trying to call for.
Rick Delgado
Right. For police and he's put down and, and you know, kind of making sure he doesn't get shot himself.
Slick
He doesn't know what to do either because what if he shoots him? You know, you know, this day and age, you don't know. You shoot somebody. I mean, in that situation, it's crazy, but. Right.
Paul Nolan
Some important bullet points of this story is one, the police station was three minutes walking distance from this incident. Took him 20 minutes to respond. There is video of female cops cowering, hiding. And because the TV tells you the female cops are so great and brave and they beat up every guy in every movie and it's just another example of it, just another ridiculous fake reality we live in. They've already made these people give up almost all their gun rights whatsoever. So now they want to take every single gun out of Australia so they could never defend themselves. This is just another attack on your liberty. And it's happening in a nation that you would never believe would have allowed this to happen.
Rick Delgado
Well, they, they, they've already, you know, basically had everybody turning their guns in the 90s, and now Australia has more gun violence than they had before. They took everybody's guns. It's just, it's an amazing reversal. Yeah.
Paul Nolan
Gun free zones are a great place for a killer to go and get his job done. Yeah.
Damon
All right, Aaron, that's good.
Paul Nolan
Can't even look at it.
Damon
I mean, it's, that's crazy footage. This is just crazy footage. He takes the gun. Then he lets the guy walk away while his son is still up perched on the thing with trying to take him out. Then he walks through towards him and throws something at him, puts the gun down and then moves towards him again.
Rick Delgado
I mean it's, yeah, just, just incredible. Australian Senator Pauline Hanson warned that the nation's leaders Monday of the impacts of unrestrained mass immigration such as Islam and multiculturalism, which again, when these people come into your country, they don't want to assimilate, they don't want to integrate. And that's what makes this country or used to make this country so great. And why people wanted to come to it is because they wanted to become Americans. That doesn't happen anymore. And it's not encouraged by the people on the left. They want you to keep your culture, keep everything, go and develop these small little enclaves where they become police no go zones and make it very difficult for, you know, for anybody to live in peace once the, once these communities are established.
Damon
And you said it all, every one of these killers, I don't know if these two have a. All of the manifestos you read of these killers who go places, they always talk about the fact they picked their target based on the fact that they knew there was this gun free zone.
Rick Delgado
Yeah.
Damon
And the media never wants to talk about it. We never want to address the fact that all of these things happen. And you hear from these people afterwards, you read their manifesto, it's all because they picked a spot that they knew was some gun free zone somewhere, school or someplace or every time. All right, live from Studio 6P, that's a quick rap hour one. Hour two coming back right after this.

Glad you're in Slickstone Sports. Delgado and Paul Nolan doing the news. Aaron and Fran holding it down as always. Glad you're in. Lots to get to. We'll get to Brown University here in just a second. We'll get to some more sports as well. But right now, let's start our two Trump versus the White House correspondence. John Decker on Obamacare subsidies. That's the basis of tonight's diaper diplomacy. Roll it, Aaron.
Rick Delgado
President Abranda, at the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24 million Americans who will see their insurance premiums go up?
Paul Nolan
I'll make it sound so bad because, you know, obviously you're a, you know, sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans. Let me just say something. The Republicans, I think I can speak.
Rick Delgado
For Tom and most of the people.
Paul Nolan
I think what most Republicans want to see is what I want to see and I leave it to them. And hopefully they're going to put great legislation on this desk right here. We want to see all of the money that been squandered and given to insurance company because Obamacare is horrible health insurance. It's far too expensive and it always has been. But what it really is is a.
Slick
Way of making insurance companies rich.
Paul Nolan
We want the money not to be paid at all to insurance companies. You know, insurance companies have gone up.
Rick Delgado
1700% over a short.
Paul Nolan
Meaning the stock 1700% over a short period of time at.
Damon
And they've taken in hundreds of billions and even trillions of dollars.
Paul Nolan
And we want the money to go to the people. They'll go in the form of a insurance account, health care account, or any other form that we can create. We have a lot of different forms. We want to give the money to the people and let the people buy their own great health care and they'll save a lot of money and it'll be great. Now, the problem we have is that the Republicans. Republicans are not at all controlled by the insurance companies. But you know who is? The Democrats. The Democrats have received hundreds of millions of dollars. They're totally controlled by the insurance companies. So we might not get too many.
Rick Delgado
Of their votes, but I actually think.
Slick
We get some Democrat votes.
Paul Nolan
So I don't know how you feel about it, Tom, but everybody wants to see this happen. Everybody, you know, I put it out and all of a sudden, of a.
Slick
Sudden we've taken over in a positive way.
Paul Nolan
The Republicans have taken over health care in a positive way. I want to see the billions of dollars go to the people, not to the insurance companies.
Slick
And I want to see the people.
Paul Nolan
Go out and buy themselves great health care.
Damon
All right, there you go.
Slick
He's right about that.
Paul Nolan
I like. I like the messaging.
Slick
Yeah, I love it.
Damon
All right, let's do some sports. Then we'll do the headlines on what's going on at Brown University. Sports is brought to you by Mike Lindell. Looks like what's going on?
Slick
Well, this is something with Brown's university. This is prior to the Bondi beach attack. USC coach suggests mass shootings only in US this is or Hawkins of Breitbart. USC women's basketball coach Lindsey Gottlieb responded to the Brown University shooting by blasting the US as the only country in which such things happen. And she did this hours before Australia's Bondi beach attack. The New York Times sports publication the Athletic noted that USC was defeated by number one ranked Yukon 79, 51. And Gottlieb opened her post game comments by talking about the Brown University attack. We have cut 13. Aaron, can you roll that before we start?
Paul Nolan
You know, I came out from the game and had a million text messages.
Rick Delgado
About a mass shooting at my alma mater, Brown.
Announcer
So that's hard.
Rick Delgado
Doesn't need to be this way, you know, sending thoughts and prayers to my.
Announcer
Teammates who have kids there, to the parents who have to work about their children.
Rick Delgado
I'm just going to end it with that. But just to say we're the only.
Announcer
Country that lives this way.
Rick Delgado
The college football cycle has been in.
Damon
The news a million times.
Paul Nolan
And are we going to report about.
Announcer
This like it's the guns? We're the only country that lives this way.
Rick Delgado
Boy, that did age well, not even a few hours.
Slick
Well, shortly after that Gottlieb made her claims. Two terrorists in stringently gun controlled Australia opened fire on Cindy Sydney's Bondi beach, killing at least five innocents. According to cnn, Australia has some of the strictest gun controls in the world. Yet a 50 year old legal gun owner and his 24 year old son were reportedly able to carry out a vicious attack that resulted in numerous deaths in the Australia's Jewish community. So just unbelievable. Big day.
Paul Nolan
Yeah.
Slick
She played two seasons at Brown back in the 90s.
Damon
It's always the guns, never the people, never the subhumans who, you know, if it wasn't a gun, it would be something else because evil is just evil. It's always the guns. And it's the only time that it's, it's guns. It's only the thing that they do this with is guns. They don't do it with vehicular manslaught, they don't do it with vehicles, they don't do it with hammers, they don't do it with knives.
Paul Nolan
That's why they're transit every kid.
Slick
It's crazy.
Paul Nolan
Take the thing away from them.
Damon
It's always the guns. It's never the evil human subhuman bastards who do this stuff. Yep. And we got the always an opportunity for them.
Rick Delgado
Yeah, it's amazing because you know what, I've never seen a gun walk around and just start shooting people.
Slick
No, exactly.
Rick Delgado
Haven't seen it.
Slick
We got cameras everywhere and the bad guy always gets the gun.
Paul Nolan
Meanwhile, this is the same group of people telling us we can't have guns. We're crazy to think that tyranny could come to America. Meanwhile they're telling us we have a tyrannical authoritarian Hitler in our White House. You'd think they would be the ones wanting more guns than ever before. It's the hypocrisy never ends.
Slick
And well, this happened over the weekend as well. On Saturday. College football playoffs obviously heating up for next Weekend, Big D. But the Heisman Trophy was given out in New York City Saturday evening.
Damon
I love this kid.
Slick
Oh, this kid is phenomenal. Fernando Mendoza becomes first Indiana Hoosier to win the Heisman. ESPN news Services out of New York. Fernando Mendoza, the quarterback of the number one Indiana, won the Heisman Trophy on Saturday night, becoming the first Hoosier to win college football's most prestigious award board since its inception in 1935. Mendoza claimed 2,362 points, including 643 first place votes. He beat Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia, who had a very nasty tweet there on his chat about losing. He was a bit of a sore loser. He had to actually walk that back. And Notre Dame running back Jeremiah Love, 719 points. And of course Ohio State Julian Sagan, 432 points. Mendoza guided the Hoosiers to their first number one ranking in the title. Top seed in the 12 man 12 team college football playoff bracket, throwing for 2,980 yards and a national best 33 touchdowns. That's a lot of TDs while also running for six scores. Indiana, the last unbeaten team in major college football, will play in the CFP quarterfinal at the Rose bowl game. Presented by Prudential on January 1st. Mendoza, man, unbelievable. I love this kid. You see his post game interviews. Thanks the Lord. He's humble. He's just a great kid. Then they're a team of almost misfit guys that have kind of, you know, transferred from other schools and wow, they are really running the table. This is some story. And that's a wrap in sports. Big D, back to you.
Damon
All right, look, very good. Let's do some more headline news with Rick Delgado. Delgado, Scott. And what's, what's the latest out of Brown University?
Rick Delgado
Let's see, Damon, the latest out of Brown, Basically, the shooter. I don't know if you saw. I saw a bit of this just before I came in for the show. They did a press conference conference, which was kind of a mess, I gotta say.
Damon
Kind of?
Rick Delgado
Yeah, pretty much.
Damon
We're tired. We're tired is the excuse.
Rick Delgado
Yeah.
Damon
Now this is another Alu Akbar deal, right?
Rick Delgado
I believe it is.
Damon
You can tell confirmed now from somebody.
Rick Delgado
Has it been confirmed? Because all they would say is he yelled something and then started shooting. Yeah, well, usually when that's the case, you know what, what he was talking about? The Providence Police Department says here they want to speak with anyone from Brown University who is in the building where the gunman killed students over the weekend. The Providence Police department asked for anyone from Brown who was in the Barras and Holly building Friday and Saturday to arrange an interview. Even an incidental detail they say may help them locate the person they are investigating. Those reaching out to police are asked to provide their name, email information. Brown grad student working in the building where the shooting happened talked about how pretty much things went down. The government opened fire over the weekend, killing two people in a class as they were getting ready to start a final. It's just another crazy situation when you see these stories break out and then you see this and you know, police announced that they, they do have a person of interest. They showed video. I don't know if you've. I don't know if you saw some of the video they have here. This video is kind of. There's not really much to it. They released more video later this afternoon following this guy. I guess it was the day before or hours before the shooting. They were a little confused as to what the hell the video was that they were showing. But I'm struggling not.
Damon
Supposedly. Yeah, supposedly Brown has 800 plus. This is the basis of how the press conference fell apart. Yeah, supposedly they've got 800 plus like cameras on this university, Ivy League school that you pay God knows what to go to. There's 800 plus cameras and. And we can't get a better video than what looks like a 14 year old took it on their 1980 I. You know, iPhone wasn't here, but yeah, flip phone. I mean, right? And this is the guy's like, you listen, you guys got fake facial recognition everywhere and you're telling me this is the best we can get in 24 hours? Come on.
Rick Delgado
Yeah, it's amazing. And I didn't want to. I didn't want to secure my tinfoil hat on too tightly, but since you, you mentioned it, Damon, I'm gonna go there. I think they know exactly who this guy is. I think they have his. I think this reminds me of the January 6th bomber where they have all this video. They track this guy's progression. Here's where he's walking next. They had like four or five different videos saying what street he was on at what time and they're tracking him. It's like, well, if you can track him up to that point, then you could probably track him and figure out where he came from originally or where he ended up going afterwards.
Damon
Just use all that J6 technology.
Rick Delgado
Exactly. I feel like they have his route. They have him walking from street to street. They know. They probably know who this guy is. Shades of January 6th. But they.
Damon
I don't.
Rick Delgado
I don't know, maybe. Maybe it would be embarrassing for the arrest to happen and for people to find out who it is and for them to say it's some young kid when you see the video. And one of the people who was watching the video said, the way this person walks, he doesn't look like a 20 year old. He looks like an adult. Like an older adult kind of meandering back and forth.
Damon
Well, they had somebody in custody and then they released them. Right?
Rick Delgado
That was on. That was over the weekend. Yeah. Yeah.
Damon
And. And I saw this out there. Obviously, I think two, the two people who unfortunately lost their lives have been. Names have, I think, been released. I know one for sure. And that's this beautiful young lady. Ella Cook. Yeah, Ella Cook, who was the vice president of the College Republicans at Brown University. She was a Christian who was the leader of the only conservative group at the very liberal college. Wow. And J.D. vance put out quite a beautiful text tweet about this young lady today.
Rick Delgado
Yeah. They said the gunman definitely targeted Brown University. And that's something that they're obviously looking into. Targeting information just again, makes you scratch your head like, what's going on here? Seems like the Keystone Cops are in charge up in providence.
Damon
All right, 13 past the hour. Live from Studio 6P. We'll do some more news right after this.

The Democrat police chief in dc. What? What is going on with her this.
Paul Nolan
All Star Today, the House Committee on Oversight of Government Reform released an interim staff report titled the leadership breakdown how DC's police chief undermined Crime Data Accuracy. The interim port, drawn from a transcript, interviews with the commanders of all seven D.C. patrol districts, as well as one former commander currently placed on suspended leave, reveals that Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela A. Smith DEI I added that pressured and Times directed commanders to manipulate crime data in order to maintain the appearance of low crime in the nation's capital. The testimony from the commanders also describes an environment under the Chief Smith marked by fear, intimidation, threats and retaliation, conditions that contributed directly to declining morale and the loss of experienced officers and commanders. This was a DEI hire and she was in the fully woke brigade. Some of the things she did. Chief Smith's pressure campaign against staff led to inaccurate crime detail. Testimony revealed that Smith prioritized lowering the public reported crime numbers over reducing actual crime, placing intense pressure on the district commanders to produce low crime statistics by any means necessary. She continued to. Was it that. I'm sorry. The commanders described the culture of fear. It stated that Smith propagated an ecosystem of retaliation and toxicity. The crime classifications which affect reported MPD crime data have been and are still at risk of being artificially reduced and manipulated, you know, through her entire staff. This is another example of, you know, Trump getting it done, making it safe for people to stop at a red light in D.C. and this person here could not and would not allow Trump's program to be successful. It's another example of the sedition that surrounds Trump at every level, you know, from on the streets to the very top of global politics.
Damon
Yeah. All right, very good. We'll do some more news of Paul Tim Burchett. I know he's one of our faves and he was. Well, first of all, he told me MTG and Brian Glenn tonight on their engagement that he would be happy to be their efficient to officiate the webinar in Tennessee. So he said he's be willing to do. But I also know that he's been in the news for some other things. Delgado, what else is Tim Burchard been talking about?
Rick Delgado
Well, not only does he want to get the, you know, the bill passed with the Annapoleon Luna regarding Congress and them trading on insider information, but he's also been out front trying to stop all this money weekly. $40 million going to the Taliban in Afghanistan. It's an amazing thing that we, we keep seeing. And what's crazy about this is look at the date he started this fight back. September 13th of 2024. That is 66 weeks from today. 66 weeks and one day ago this came out. This has been going on. And this was going on before. This is the first. That's when he first introduced this to make sure that we stop this. And guess what? It's still going on. According to everything here, the US Is the largest international donor to Afghanistan, having provided about 2.6 billion in funding to the UN which funnels it through these NGOs operating in Afghanistan. And they've been doing that since August of 2021. The UN which handles transportation of these payments, claims it needs to send cash pallets because the country does not have the infrastructure to wire funds.
Paul Nolan
Unbelievable.
Rick Delgado
Yeah. And this continues today. We are still sending them 40 plus million dollars a week in cash that goes directly to Afghanistan goes to the NGOs who then funnel it through the Taliban. It's just an amazing thing. So many of these groups that send money directly to the Taliban, they also send it to the family of suicide bombers. As a matter of fact, here is Representative Tim Burchett talking about that. This cut number three. Listen to him how he explains it. Cut three. Check this out.
Damon
There's around a thousand of these NGOs that are created. And what happens is some billionaire Soros esque kind of person puts money in.
Slick
An account, a million dollars.
Damon
Some unelected bureaucrat in Washington D.C. sees that and it's got a great name like you know, feed the starving Children or something. So. And they start funding him. Elon Musk told me, and I have no reason to doubt it. We probably put close to a trillion.
Slick
Of your tax dollars into these things.
Damon
And then it flows into the pockets of terrorists.
Slick
And ma', am, they will hate us for free.
Damon
We don't need to be paying the Taliban $40 million a week.
Paul Nolan
But the President's aware of it.
Damon
And last week the Senate Democrats rats block the bill on the Senate floor, if you can imagine that. And you got to wonder where their loyalties are.
Slick
They don't care if they burn this dadgum country down.
Damon
They all they want is to get the money to fund because their wives.
Slick
And or their girlfriends or possibly both.
Damon
Are probably employed by some of these NGOs.
Slick
We better start watching this if we're.
Damon
Sending $40 million a week to this, to the Taliban. Dad gum and the Somalis are ripping.
Paul Nolan
Us off off over there, there.
Slick
It's all over the country.
Damon
We better start paying attention. Yeah.
Rick Delgado
And again, he's been trying to get this stopped. He's repeatedly, you know, supporting and submitting legislation, but it always gets blocked by either Deep State Rhinos or Democrats. And Damon, I know you mentioned this last week. I made sure to grab it. Here's former CIA agent Sarah Adams with Sean Ryan talking about the money that's going to the Taliban. Cut number four. Check this out up million a week.
Paul Nolan
That comes on the airplane and comes into Afghanistan.
Announcer
So the plane comes in weekly. The amount of money on the plane weekly is 43 million to 87 million. But one thing I want Americans to.
Damon
Understand is in that bucket of the 40 million we send each week, we.
Announcer
Are paying basically welfare to the Taliban martyrs family. So for every Taliban member who died during the war with us, the US.
Rick Delgado
Government is paying them a stipend.
Damon
The family.
Rick Delgado
So our families of Americans who died.
Announcer
There aren't getting squat, but we are paying Taliban families for basically dying while attacking us.
Damon
Whoa.
Announcer
Yes, we're funding that.
Slick
This is just enraging it.
Announcer
You know, I asked a couple of.
Paul Nolan
People that question straight out, like, do.
Damon
You not think this is not ethically correct?
Announcer
And actually one person gave me an answer of, well, it'll stop them from joining isis. I'm like, the Taliban guy's already dead. Like, they give you these bull excuses as to why they're funding, like, our enemies.
Rick Delgado
Yeah, just infuriating stuff that is. And we still continue to send them the money.
Damon
The Senate today, by the way, speaking of the Senate, it they've now advanced the $900 billion defense spending bill to the president's desk, I believe with 800 million or so in funding to Ukraine. So there's that today as well. I think the president needs to take a serious look at the people in the Senate, maybe starting with the Senate leader.
Rick Delgado
Yeah.
Damon
And realize that he stood behind McConnell all those years. I'm not so sure he's got the president's interest in mind.

Damon
So now it makes sense.
Rick Delgado
Yeah.
Announcer
Rick, where are you going?
Slick
Tell us.
Rick Delgado
It's called Tellers.
Paul Nolan
Yeah.
Slick
He's gonna tell her to pay for it. That's what it is.

Yeah. This was a much better steak dinner than we had last time, honey.
Slick
But that was a strip steak.
Rick Delgado
After I get in the car.
Damon
All right, Slick. Well, I'm glad you'll be here, Slick.
Rick Delgado
Yeah.
Damon
Yeah. Take your birthday off.
Slick
I won't leave you in a pickle. But Elon will. Listen to this. Elon Musk's Tesla launches 350 pickleball paddle. Big D. You know pickleball, right? This is Lucas Nolan of Breitbart Sports. Elon Musk's Tesla has launched a new product that no one was expecting. A high end pickleball paddle that the company claims it spent more than a year developing. Business Insider reports that Elon Musk's Tesla has ventured into the world of pickleball with the launch of a $350 pickleball battle. The product, a result of a partnership with Selkirk, a sports equipment manufacturer, marks Tesla's latest foray into lifestyle merchandise. The Tesla branded pickleball paddle, made of carbon fiber with a foam core is touted as being optimized for high performance play. Tom Barnes, Selkirk's co owner and director of research and development, emphasized the collaborative nature of the project, stating this simply wasn't a branding exercise, it was a true engineering collaboration. Tesla's design group and our R D team spent more than a year trading data, refining geometry and stress testing prototypes. So we'll see what happens with this. It goes on to describe pickleball. Most people know the sport. It's kind of a ping pong meets badminton meets tennis on a smaller court. It's got huge popularity for people who want to stay in. That doesn't.
Rick Delgado
I don't know why because it doesn't look like it's very hard to do.
Slick
No, no. But I guess $350 a lot of money for a paddle. But look what you pay for a racket.
Rick Delgado
That is quite a racket.
Slick
And some sad news. Some people might remember this name. It was a big name. In fact, somebody actually in the YouTube chat had mentioned this earlier and I had this story already queued up for tonight was Former South Carolina standout quarterback Steve Tannehill dies at 52 years old. This is an AP report. Steve Tannehill, a record setting quarterback for for the South Carolina Gamecocks, best known for his distinctive long flowing mullet and his home run swing after touchdown passes, has died. He was 52. The South Carolina Athletic Department confirmed Monday through a close friend of Tannehill's that he's died overnight in his sleep. No cause of death was provided. Tannehill led to South Carolina to his first bowl victory in program history as a junior back in 1994, defeating West Virginia in the Carquest Bowl. In his four seasons, Tannen had eight 300 yard passing games and including six during his senior season. And he was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars as a free agent. Walk on. In 1997 but was released in the preseason and never played in the NFL again. He did coach some high school football but down in South Carolina. This guy was pretty much a legend there back in the day. So just wanted to get that story in big D. And that's a wrap in sports. Back to you.
Damon
All right slick. Very good. Sports brought to you bike Like I said by Mike Lindell, LFS XP is a promo code to use it. Check out Paul Nolan's got another horrific story that I actually saw this come across my feed today as well. Man. Well I don't know what's going on with kids in the relationship with their parents, but and you have a personal story as well. Paul Nolan here.
Paul Nolan
So last week I was gonna say it on the air and give you, you know, mention it, but I'll start here, you know, at a little local deli pizza place near my house. This place served the community. The mom and pop shop, which really don't exist anymore, made the greatest fit food and they were the most generous people. Just think about this in New York, a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast packed with as much meat as you can imagine, like bacon, $6 with a coffee and an orange juice. It's a $12 sandwich. These people gave it away because all they want to do is be good. There had to be a thousand people at the wake. The. The. The youngest son of the five children stabbed the mother to death. And when the father came to defend her, stabbed him to death as well. Now think about how crazy this really.
Slick
Is at the deli. This happened, right?
Paul Nolan
This happened at the deli. And the kid was, you know, obviously mental issues, as we know. And you know, it's just completely sickening to me. These people serve the community and everybody's completely obliterated by it. Absolutely horrifying. Death and the wake with, you know, caskets and kids who can't be consoled losing their parents. And now the. You factor in the rhino situation and then you add in this news here. The son accused of killing Grammy nominated dad, Jubilant Sykes. The son accused of the Grammy nominated dad Jubilant Sykes. On Monday night he whined in the court for his mom as new details emerged about the kill's history of mental illness. You know, Mike, I don't know. I gotta be honest with you, I. The stories just stink. I don't even want to dwell on them. But what's going on in this world, guys? I mean, seriously, how can there be this many mental illness? And that's just what we know of getting into the details fully. Pointless at this point even to go.
Damon
Back to the Reiner story. I know, I didn't know that. The kids seem to not be in the spotlight obviously as much as the dad was. But the reports that you're getting now, now, is that the daughter. I've seen a couple videos of him with his daughter today. The daughter seems like she had a pretty good relationship with him. The daughter's not only the one who found them, she's the one who put the cops onto the brother immediately. So, I mean, that's just another young. I think she's in her early 20s, late teens maybe, maybe early 20s?
Rick Delgado
No, I think it's early 20s. Yeah.
Damon
Whose life is just.
Rick Delgado
But it's not. But it's not like, you know, with the Reiner case, there were signs. This kid has been a problem for a long time. For a while he was homeless because they refused to, you know, subsidize his drug problem. He was all sorts. He had all sorts of issues. And. And then I read something. I think it was in People or tmz that they actually, the night before Saturday night, they brought him to Conan o' Brien's Christmas party.
Paul Nolan
And it was brutal.
Rick Delgado
And it was a. It was a bad decision because it was just. It's a. It was a bad look for. For them, the family. There was a big problem between Rob Reiner and his son. The signs were all there. The fact that. That, you know, sometimes, you know, I. I think these people think, well, you know, that's not us. But, you know, they.
Damon
To the daughter. I was talking about the daughter.
Rick Delgado
No, but I mean in terms. In terms of parents. Because, you know, Paul referenced a couple other things as well. Well, there's a family and Beth Page as well.
Paul Nolan
This kid was. Sykes, was. Was diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Rick Delgado
But you had something like that where. Where parents, they see the problem. It's almost like they're afraid to say, you know what, my kid has a problem. We gotta address it.
Paul Nolan
Well, the parents of mass people had a restraining order against the kid.
Rick Delgado
Right. A nice piece of paper that did nothing to stop the.
Paul Nolan
Nothing.
Rick Delgado
Like they actually have to get them into someplace and get them the help. I think some of them, they think, well, it's, you know, if we just. If we just do this. This. They just. They just kind of. They don't want to take that hard decision.
Paul Nolan
Well, they submitted mass people, parents to homes on several occasions, but no one will keep them.
Damon
Right?
Paul Nolan
No one will keep them serious.
Slick
Emerging in this country is mental illness.
Rick Delgado
Yeah. And the people.
Slick
Seriously, it's always been there, but it's becoming so prevalent now because they're acting.
Paul Nolan
Let's try to figure out. To get our kids off the SR. SSRIs. And maybe that's part of it. Because think about it this way. My friend is a big fan. He's of getting people in your family, young ones, life insurance policies, because there are four savings and they grew. And if a kid is on an ssri, Right.
Announcer
The.
Paul Nolan
Any kind of pharmaceutical. Along the lines of mental health, you can't get life insurance for that kid. Right. Like, think about that. What does that tell you about that product? Let's let's have some more education these products do to these children. Let's leave the kids alone. Let's get them out exercising. Let's get them taking vitamins and, and playing with friends and turning that phone off.
Damon
All right, Delgado's got some more news. What is the head scratcher video of the day? Is this a new segment on the show?
Slick
That's a head scratcher in itself.
Rick Delgado
Oh, that was Chuck Schumer. Yeah. And I probably should have included this in the Australia story. If you want to just check this out real quick. It's, it's cut number seven. It really just makes you scratch your head. Slick. Alluded to it earlier here when you're talking about just. This is Chuck Schumer's not. Most politicians are just not smart people and Chuck Schumer proves it. Cut number seven.
Paul Nolan
Chuck Schumer, tone deaf. Yeah.
Slick
And of course I'm going to say.
Rick Delgado
A few words about the terrible shooting in Sydney, Australia. Okay, so, and first, of course, as.
Slick
I always say, no matter what, go Bills. They beat the Patriots today. It's a big deal. That's not, not appropriate.
Paul Nolan
What a horse is.
Slick
That is so inappropriate. This is Sports Guy. That's asinine.
Damon
Before I get to the murder of innocent Jews.
Slick
Are you kidding?
Damon
He's a self hater, by the way, himself. That's probably why he did it. Exactly. Go Bills.
Slick
Well, he always says that.
Rick Delgado
Big D. I've never seen him say it before.
Paul Nolan
Me neither.
Damon
I've never seen him say it either, quite honestly. Not that I watched his.
Slick
I've never seen him say anything made sense. That's another story.
Damon
I've never seen him in that sweater before either.
Slick
Yeah, it's this ugly Christmas sweater.
Rick Delgado
Anyhow. And lastly, here, I got this for you before the end of the segment. Maria Karina Machado, you also know her as the most recent winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, says she absolutely supports President Trump's strategy on Venezuela. She is the Venezuelan opposition leader who basically is living in exile right now. She says we the Venezuelan people are very grateful to President Trump, to him and to his administration because I believe he is a champion of freedom in this hemisphere. Machado took on CBS's Face of Nation. Margaret Brennan, when Margaret Brennan thought, she probably thought she thought she had a layup and then ran into this lady. Here she is. You can check this out for yourself. This is cut number five. Check this out.
Announcer
Do you endorse this idea of more seizures and possibly even a blockade?
Paul Nolan
Look, I absolutely support President Trump's strategy And we, the Venezuelan people, are very.
Announcer
Grateful to him and to his administration because I believe he is a champion of freedom in this hemisphere. And that's why, and I say this from Oslo right now, I have dedicated this award to him because I think that he finally has put Venezuela in.
Damon
Where it should be in terms of.
Paul Nolan
A priority for the United States national security.
Rick Delgado
Yeah. So she acknowledged that the more sanctions and more possible seizures of oil at the risk of cutting off the already impoverished people of Venezuela, would probably be doing more help to get Maduro out again. She's been banished. She was the leader of the opposition party in Venezuela leading up to the most recent election back in 2023, but had to leave the country when it determined that she was illegal and she wasn't allowed to talk. She has asked for more seizures, more of a blockade. She wants every legal action through law enforcement approach taken by the US and believes this is the way to get him finally out of the country. And hopefully she'll be able to find her way back to Venezuela and help lead the country forward.
Paul Nolan

Rick Delgado
So again, Noble Peace Prize winner, Maria Karina Machato.
Damon
All right, we'll wrap it up for a Monday right after this. Live from Studio 6P.

All right, live from Studio 6B 13 to the hour. Last segment of the show. Man, it goes so fast and we're Always grateful for you. The live from Studio 6B audience giving us a few hours of your weekday nights, 8 to 10 right here on Real America's Voice. Let's do some. Let's try to get to everybody here. I don't think Paul's got much left, but I know Slick and Rick do Slickster. I'll come to you. Sports is brought to you by Mike Lindell. What else is going on?
Slick
All right, Big D. Well, the Ranger Nationals have wrapped up the big Rodeo, the final big rodeo of the year. And all around Cowboy went to Stetson, right. 405,470, $17. And Rocker Steiner in the bad back, $507,533. And that rodeo is in the books. And here you go, another one here. Golden State coach Steve Kerr uses Brown University attack to renew gun control push. Ora Hawkins and Breitbart, one of Big D's favorites here. Steve Kerr, head coach of the Golden State warriors, used his time on camera prior to last night's NBA game to lament the shooting at Brown University and again intimate that Gunn Lo changes could change everything. As far as these attacks, the AP press recorded Kerr saying, it's just a reminder to me that these shootings continue to happen and there's nothing we can do about them. He added, the loss of that, all of the people involved last night, the loss that they're feeling is exactly the same loss as all the parkland families and every other mass shooting. Nobody asked me about it today. I didn't expect anybody to ask me. It's human nature just to think this is so terrible. Let's just not even think about it. But we have to think about it. Kerr has gained reputation for pushing gun control through the Years following the May 24, 2022 Uvalde Elementary School shooting in which an individual was legally purchased, rifle, attacked and killed innocents. Kerr said, when are we going to do something? I'm tired. I'm tired of getting up here and then offering condolences to the devastated families that are out there. And I'm so tired of the moments of silence. Again, another one that's on the gun control missing the whole point that to me, the bad guys obviously always get the guns. So I know you don't want to comment much on that. Big D. We've gone over Steve Kerr over the years for quite a while. The Golden State Warrior coach.
Damon
Well, same thing. We talked about a couple segments.
Slick
Yeah, with the Brown University. Exactly.
Rick Delgado
Yep. You know what? Where's Steve Kerr with the woman who was stabbed changing her baby. Is he going to say anything about knife, knife crime or is he just going to keep his mouth shut because it doesn't fit the narrative? Or what is he going to say about the 11 people stabbed at Walmart? Is he going to say anything about that? No. How about the person who got acid thrown in her face?
Damon
Yeah.
Rick Delgado
Talk about that. Steve Kerr.
Paul Nolan
Yeah.
Rick Delgado
Do you want to where's your, where's your thoughts and prayers on that?
Paul Nolan
Yep.
Slick
He's got an ax to grow and obviously family history with guns, shooting and what have you. Yeah. And the last big day. Scotty Scheffler wins fourth straight PGA Tour Player of the Year award. The great Scotty Sheffield Scheffler. No surprise there. Mark Schlabeck of ESPN World number one golfer Scottie Scheffler, whose six victories in 2025 included the PGA Championship and Open Championship, won the Jack Nicklaus award as the PGA Tour Player of the Year. Scheffler, 29, is the first golfer since Tiger woods in 1999-2003 to win the award in four consecutive seasons. Remarkably, Scheffler finished in 30% of his 20 starts the season and was in the top 10 in 17 of the events and in the top 25 in all of them. No surprise there. Congratulations, Mr. Scheffler. You are the man. That's a wrap in sports. Big D, back to you.
Damon
All right. So look. Very good. 10 minutes to the hour. Live from Studio 6B. So there is some good news we should talk about today. And we've we talked about this like a couple weeks ago, but it may be starting to take shape and this is great news for the Republicans, for the country, for everybody. Headline today in the Blaze Blaze media. Kamala Harris wants to run for president and some see signs that she is making moves to put that into motion despite her donors and party leaders worrying that she cannot win.
Slick
Yahtzee, Triple Yahtzee.
Damon
Failed Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris is reportedly taking some steps towards running for president again, even though donors believe she cannot win. An Axios report court said Harris was signaling to possible competitors for the Democrat nomination that she may run again. Axios cited comments made about her in recent appearances she's made to maintain her position atop the party. Axios reported that many Democrat donors and party leaders are worried Harris will lose again if she runs. Harris has extended her book tour with more stops in 26, including some of the important primary state of South Carolina as well as well as cities with large population of black voters. So she's out there on the move. And Harris spokesperson said in a statement to Axios that Kamala Harris, quote, will approach 2026 with the same commitment that anchored 2025. Listening to the American people, reflecting where leadership has fallen short in helping shape the path forward beyond this political moment.
Paul Nolan
Yay.
Damon
And I say amen to that, sister.
Rick Delgado
Between her and. What is it? Jazzy, Crooked, and who else could be your running mate? Yeah, that'll be a fun time. Good times, Good times.
Damon
Ahead you go. Do you and. Let's do it.
Slick
Let's do it.
Damon
Yeah, you do the best news we've heard all day. All right. Let's do some last minute news and whatever else is left. Brick Delgado's got the main headlines. What's going on, Delgado?
Rick Delgado
All right, Damon, I don't know if you're a fan of this show or Billy Bob Thornton. I love this show. His commercials. Now, now he's doing this. This character in commercials.
Damon
What shows as well.
Rick Delgado
This called Landman.
Paul Nolan
Great show.
Rick Delgado
It's. Yeah, great show. It's on Paramount. I don't know if you had a chance to check it out, but in this clip from the episode that just aired, Landman, he rips the View, believe it or not, and he has. He has a pretty interesting take on the View. The ladies of the View. Here he is talking to his father, played by Sam Elliott, when the pair begin talking about ABC's TV show, one of our favorites, the View. Here is here. Here it is. Cut number six. Check this out. What do you need?
Damon
I don't know what to do.
Paul Nolan
Do whatever you want to.
Slick
Read a book, watch tv.
Paul Nolan
Watch one of them daytime talk shows.
Damon
You know, like the View or something.
Slick
What's the View?
Rick Delgado
Bunch of pissed off millionaires about how much they hate millionaires and Trump and men and you and me and everybody else they got to be up there about. It's pretty funny.
Damon
Don't sound funny. Well, it ain't joke funny.
Rick Delgado
It's like farting church funny. You know what I mean?
Damon
That don't sound funny either.
Rick Delgado
Well, it depends on your proximity to the fart. That especially for you, Paul Way.
Paul Nolan
Two great. Two great guys.
Slick
I love that guy's voice.
Rick Delgado
Yeah, exactly. In the episode entitled the Pirate Dinner, Billy Bob Thornton, as you saw there, is talking to his dad. This show ends up ripping, you know, basically talking about a bunch of pissed off millionaires, which is exactly what the. What that show the View is all about. Yeah. If you haven't caught. You haven't caught Landman, have you, Dave?
Damon
I have not.
Rick Delgado
You've.
Paul Nolan
It's great.
Rick Delgado
It. It's a great show. The daughter kills me.
Paul Nolan
Ali. Ali Lauda.
Rick Delgado
Ali Lauderda is awesome.
Paul Nolan
Is so great at playing crazy hot. Yeah. Like she's got that hot and cold thing down. Like she's got an Emmy written on that one.
Rick Delgado
Yeah. And what do you call it? The daughter.
Damon
Like the Kevin Costner thing. Because it looks like it's shot the same.
Rick Delgado
It's. It's written by the same guy.
Slick
He repurpose the set.
Paul Nolan
Taylor Sheridan and the Paramount network.
Rick Delgado
Yep.
Damon
I mean just from that clip, it looks the same. It's colored the same.
Rick Delgado
Right.
Damon
Well, sounds like the characters are similar because wasn't there a crazy chick in that too?
Rick Delgado
Well, there's crazy chicks everywhere or whatever. But no, this. The show is about the. The oil bill, the oil drilling business down in Texas with one of the smaller companies it tackles that it has to deal with. They have to deal with the drug cartels, they have to deal with the issue. Know the woke left the covers a bunch of different things.
Damon
Yeah.
Paul Nolan
The hypocrisy of the left and how they love their oil based products but meanwhile they'll rail against them all day, every day. Yeah.
Rick Delgado
It also stars Jon Hamm. What do you call Demi Moore as well. It's a pretty good cast.
Paul Nolan
And what's the name? Alfredo Garcia. What's that guy's name? But here.
Rick Delgado
But yeah, the daughter. The daughter will make you scream dream some of the things she says to Billy Bob Thornton, her dad.
Damon
All right, maybe we'll check it out. All right. As always, we salute our military. Active and active police, firefighters, first responders, all emergency personnel. Thanks guys on the show. Aaron. Fran, great job as always. Aaron, great job in the studio. But most of all, thank you to live from Studio 6B audience enjoy the rest of your night everybody.

This is an iHeart podcast. Guaranteed human.
Episode: Monday, December 15, 2025
Date: December 16, 2025
Podcast: Real America’s Voice | Host: iHeartPodcasts
This episode navigates the grim events of a recent devastating weekend—both domestically and abroad—while analyzing current political narratives, the state of the economy, culture wars, and sports. The tone is candid, often irreverent, and consistently critical of government overreach, left-wing media coverage, and progressive policy failures. From personal banter to pressing news (gun violence in the US and Australia, the engagement of MTG, Kamala Harris’ presidential ambitions), the hosts reinforce a through-line: defense of core American values, skepticism of government narratives, and the necessity of honest, often uncomfortable conversations.
